Bosch Cut-Off Wheel CWX1M500 5 Inch Type 1A (1/16 Thick X-Lock 7/8 Arbor 24 Grit Silicon Carbide Masonry Concrete Brick Angle Grinder Tool Unit)

Bosch CWX1M500 5" x 1/16" X-LOCK Type 1A Silicon Carbide Masonry Cut-Off Wheel

The Bosch CWX1M500 5-inch Type 1A flat masonry cut-off wheel delivers fast, straight plunge cuts across cured concrete, brick, cinder block, cement pavers, and sandstone. Engineered with aggressive 24-grit silicon carbide abrasive grain bound by a high-strength resinoid matrix with multi-layer fiberglass reinforcement, this 1/16-inch thin wheel slices through dense masonry with reduced friction and minimal dust chatter. Outfitted with the snap-on X-LOCK mount for up to 5X faster tool-free wheel changes and backward compatibility with traditional 7/8-inch arbor flange nuts, it equips commercial masons, hardscape contractors, and restoration specialists with reliable, high-speed cutting performance on all standard 5-inch angle grinders.

Best Used For:

• Brick, Block, and Masonry Wall Slicing: Cutting clay bricks, concrete cinder blocks, and mortar joints cleanly during tuckpointing and structural modifications.
• Hardscape Patio and Paver Installation: Trimming concrete pavers, cultured stone veneer, and cement tiles to exact layout dimensions without edge blowout.
• Concrete Slab and Conduit Trench Parting: Making precise, straight perimeter plunge cuts in cured concrete floors and walkways for utility conduit channels.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• Tool-Free X-LOCK Snap-On Mount: Clicks securely into X-LOCK grinders in seconds without spanner wrenches or loose flange nuts, eliminating mounting errors and speeding up wheel swaps by up to 5X.
• Universal Backward Compatibility: Specially configured center interface mounts seamlessly onto conventional 7/8-inch threaded arbor spindle grinders using standard lock nuts.
• Coarse 24-Grit Silicon Carbide Blend: Sharp mineral crystals self-sharpen under friction to maintain aggressive stock penetration through abrasive cementitious substrates.
• Thin 1/16-Inch Type 1A Profile: Slices masonry cleanly with minimal motor resistance, reducing tool bog-down and extending cordless angle grinder runtime.
• Multi-Layer Fiberglass Reinforcement: High-tensile stranded fiberglass grid provides extreme burst resistance and structural durability during rigorous hand-held cutting.

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: Always enter masonry cuts with light initial feed pressure at a strict 90-degree angle; do not twist or force the wheel horizontally during the stroke, as perpendicular tracking preserves the 1/16-inch resinoid bond and prevents wheel binding.
